About these handwriting worksheets: qu and squ words

The /kw/ sound in English is almost always spelled qu. You'll notice this in words like quick and quiet. It's a simple pattern: q is almost always followed by u.

This also applies to words starting with squ, where the s sound is added before the qu, as in squid or square.

You can use this rule for longer words that feature the /kw/ sound, like question and conquest.

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
